Life of Tomaso the Wanderer an epitome.

How he was a Soldier.

DUring the Warrs, not to be a Soldier, he made himself a Captain, and to scape fighting, has continued so ever since, his Sword being so little able to boast its blood, as all its nobility lyes in the Hylt and Belt; and it derives its honour more from the Scabbard then the Blade.

All the Employment he had during the Warrs, was now and then to bring up a Convoy of Wenches to the Camp, (a sort of terrible Engins of War, that do as much harm and execution by Land, as Fire-Ships do by Sea) whence he gain'd the honour∣able

Title of Pimp-Master General of the Army; in which office he continued till (chiefly for his sins) his side at last being overcome; he, as from some common ship-wrack was the first that sav'd himself; and so he were safe, car'd not what became of all the rest.
